giant cell arthritis. it is not common but can lead to blindness and need high dose of steroids to keep it in check. It starts with severe headaches.

The side effects of steroids and reducing them has left me with fibromyalga and diabetes.and will continue using steroids until gca in remission. In nearly two yrs have been in remission for five weeks.
